I have a 1997 EB AWD Explorer with the 4.0L SOHC engine. I bought it used a couple of years ago and it now has 98K miles on it. It has the timing chain rattle that has been talked about extensively here on this site. I just now found out about 01M01 and 00M12 and took the Explorer into the local dealership this morning. They told me that I am one month out on the extended warranty (of course) and will not cover any amount of it. The dealership quoted me $292.85 for the 00M12 fix and $877.91 for the 01M01 fix. After researching this on the site and seeing that others have done these fixes themselves, I am going to tackle this myself.
Now I have several questions. Is there a Ford part number for 01M01 and 00M12? I called my Ford parts guy and he did not list a kit for 00M12. The individual parts for the 01M01 came to about $400.00. Is 00M12 included in the 01M01 kit? Do I need to do the 00M12 first and see if the problem is fixed? I had him quote me the right tensioner at $25.26, the left tensioner at $60.78 and the intake set at $46.44. Do both of the tensioners need to be replaced? Also, does anyone have a procedure in doing the 01M01 fix? I found the excellent write-up by mikeh outlining the 00M12 fix and thanks mikeh for that too.
Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to give me. Also, thank you all for a fabulous website that I have learned much from.
